1.3.1

Diff

Changelog

Source

1.3.1 - 2022-03-29

Fixes

  • RFC 3447 and RFC 8017 allow for optional DigestAlgorithm NULL parameters for sha* algorithms and require NULL paramters for md2 and md5 algorithms.

Changelog

1.3.0 - 2022-03-17

Security

  • Three RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification issues were reported by Moosa Yahyazadeh (moosa-yahyazadeh@uiowa.edu).
  • HIGH: Leniency in checking digestAlgorithm structure can lead to signature forgery.
    • The code is lenient in checking the digest algorithm structure. This can allow a crafted structure that steals padding bytes and uses unchecked portion of the PKCS#1 encoded message to forge a signature when a low public exponent is being used. For more information, please see "Bleichenbacher's RSA signature forgery based on implementation error" by Hal Finney.
    • CVE ID: CVE-2022-24771
    • GHSA ID: GHSA-cfm4-qjh2-4765
  • HIGH: Failing to check tailing garbage bytes can lead to signature forgery.
  • MEDIUM: Leniency in checking type octet.
    • DigestInfo is not properly checked for proper ASN.1 structure. This can lead to successful verification with signatures that contain invalid structures but a valid digest.
    • CVE ID: CVE-2022-24773
    • GHSA ID: GHSA-2r2c-g63r-vccr

Fixed

  • [asn1] Add fallback to pretty print invalid UTF8 data.
  • [asn1] fromDer is now more strict and will default to ensuring all input bytes are parsed or throw an error. A new option parseAllBytes can disable this behavior.
    • NOTE: The previous behavior is being changed since it can lead to security issues with crafted inputs. It is possible that code doing custom DER parsing may need to adapt to this new behavior and optional flag.
  • [rsa] Add and use a validator to check for proper structure of parsed ASN.1 RSASSA-PKCS-v1_5 DigestInfo data. Additionally check that the hash algorithm identifier is a known value from RFC 8017 PKCS1-v1-5DigestAlgorithms. An invalid DigestInfo or algorithm identifier will now throw an error.
    • NOTE: The previous lenient behavior is being changed to be more strict since it could lead to security issues with crafted inputs. It is possible that code may have to handle the errors from these stricter checks.

Added

  • [oid] Added missing RFC 8017 PKCS1-v1-5DigestAlgorithms algorithm identifiers:
    • 1.2.840.113549.2.2 / md2
    • 2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.4 / sha224
    • 2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.5 / sha512-224
    • 2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.6 / sha512-256

Changelog

1.2.1 - 2022-01-11

Fixed

  • [tests]: Load entire module to improve top-level testing and coverage reporting.
  • [log]: Refactor logging setup to avoid use of URLSearchParams.

Changelog

Source

1.2.0 - 2022-01-07

Fixed

  • [x509] 'Expected' and 'Actual' issuers were backwards in verification failure message.

Added

  • [oid,x509]: Added OID 1.3.14.3.2.29 / sha1WithRSASignature for sha1 with RSA. Considered a deprecated equivalent to 1.2.840.113549.1.1.5 / sha1WithRSAEncryption. See discussion and links.

Changed

  • [x509]: Reduce duplicate code. Add helper function to create a signature digest given an signature algorithm OID. Add helper function to verify signatures.

published 1.1.0 •

Changelog

Source

1.1.0 - 2022-01-06

Fixed

  • [x509]: Correctly compute certificate issuer and subject hashes to match behavior of openssl.
  • [pem]: Accept certificate requests with "NEW" in the label. "BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST" handled as "BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST".

published 1.0.0 •

Changelog

Source

1.0.0 - 2022-01-04

Notes

  • 1.0.0!
  • This project is over a decade old! Time for a 1.0.0 release.
  • The URL related changes may expose bugs in some of the networking related code (unrelated to the much wider used cryptography code). The automated and manual test coverage for this code is weak at best. Issues or patches to update the code or tests would be appreciated.

Removed

  • SECURITY, BREAKING: Remove forge.debug API. The API has the potential for prototype pollution. This API was only briefly used by the maintainers for internal project debug purposes and was never intended to be used with untrusted user inputs. This API was not documented or advertised and is being removed rather than fixed.
  • SECURITY, BREAKING: Remove forge.util.parseUrl() (and forge.http.parseUrl alias) and use the WHATWG URL Standard. URL is supported by modern browers and modern Node.js. This change is needed to address URL parsing security issues. If forge.util.parseUrl() is used directly or through forge.xhr or forge.http APIs, and support is needed for environments without URL support, then a polyfill must be used.
  • BREAKING: Remove forge.task API. This API was never used, documented, or advertised by the maintainers. If anyone was using this API and wishes to continue development it in other project, please let the maintainers know. Due to use in the test suite, a modified version is located in tests/support/.
  • BREAKING: Remove forge.util.makeLink, forge.util.makeRequest, forge.util.parseFragment, forge.util.getQueryVariables. Replace with URL, URLSearchParams, and custom code as needed.

Changed

  • BREAKING: Increase supported Node.js version to 6.13.0 for URL support.
  • BREAKING: Renamed master branch to main.
  • BREAKING: Release process updated to use tooling that prefixes versions with v. Other tools, scripts, or scanners may need to adapt.
  • BREAKING: Remove docs related to Bower and forge-dist. Install using another method.

Added

  • OIDs for surname, title, and givenName.

Fixed

  • BREAKING: OID 2.5.4.5 name fixed from serialName to serialNumber. Depending on how applications used this id to name association it could cause compatibility issues.

published 0.10.0 •

Changelog

Source

0.10.0 - 2020-09-01

Changed

  • BREAKING: Node.js 4 no longer supported. The code may still work, and non-invasive patches to keep it working will be considered. However, more modern tools no longer support old Node.js versions making testing difficult.

Removed

  • BREAKING: Remove util.getPath, util.setPath, and util.deletePath. util.setPath had a potential prototype pollution security issue when used with unsafe inputs. These functions are not used by forge itself. They date from an early time when forge was targeted at providing general helper functions. The library direction changed to be more focused on cryptography. Many other excellent libraries are more suitable for general utilities. If you need a replacement for these functions, consider get, set, and unset from lodash. But also consider the potential similar security issues with those APIs.

published 0.9.2 •

Changelog

Source

0.9.2 - 2020-09-01

Changed

  • Added util.setPath security note to function docs and to README.

Notes

  • SECURITY: The util.setPath function has the potential to cause prototype pollution if used with unsafe input.
    • This function is not used internally by forge.
    • The rest of the library is unaffected by this issue.
    • Do not use unsafe input with this function.
    • Usage with known input should function as expected. (Including input intentionally using potentially problematic keys.)
    • No code changes will be made to address this issue in 0.9.x. The current behavior could be considered a feature rather than a security issue. 0.10.0 will be released that removes util.getPath and util.setPath. Consider get and set from lodash if you need replacements. But also consider the potential similar security issues with those APIs.
